I will respect private property and will do no treasure hunting without the property owner’s permission.

I will fill in all holes I dig.

I will not damage natural resources, wildlife habitats, or any private property.

I will use thoughtfulness, consideration, and courtesy at all times.

I will build fires in designated or safe places only.

I will leave gates as found.

I will remove and properly dispose of any trash that I find.

I will not litter.

I will not destroy property, buildings, or what is left of ghost towns and deserted structures.

I will not tamper with signs, structural facilities, or equipment.

And, finally, the most important one of all — I will have fun!!

If we all follow these simple rules while metal detecting or treasure hunting, we will go a long way to keeping the public on our side in the fight to protect our rights.
